Cookie Policy

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store, so that something can be remembered between page loads. Related technologies such as local storage work in a similar way: they keep a small value on your device rather than on our servers.

Cookies cannot read files on your computer and they cannot see anything you have not given to the site in question. They are simply a place to keep a short note.

Why we may use them

We use them for three narrow purposes only: keeping the site working, remembering a small number of your own choices, and counting how often an article is read so we know which guides deserve an update.

Essential cookies

These are strictly necessary. If your browser blocks them, form submission may fail, although reading articles will still work.

• Security values that protect the newsletter and support forms from automated abuse.
• Technical values set by our hosting platform to route your request and keep pages loading correctly.

Functional cookies

If you dismiss a site notice or set a display preference, that choice may be stored on your device so the site does not ask again on the next page. Nothing in this category identifies you and none of it is shared with anyone.

Analytics and measurement

Where aggregate measurement is enabled, it counts page views, device type and referring page. We use it to decide which of our 30 articles to revisit first. We do not attempt to identify individual readers, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not follow you onto other websites.

Third-party services

We do not run advertising networks, retargeting pixels, social media tracking widgets or data brokerage of any kind. The photographs in our articles are licensed works served from Wikimedia Commons, and that service may set its own technical values when an image loads. Those are governed by the Wikimedia Foundation's own policies rather than ours.

Controlling cookies

• Every major browser can block or delete cookies for a single site, usually from the padlock icon in the address bar.
• Private or incognito windows discard everything when you close them.
• Browser settings also let you clear stored values for this site without touching other sites.

Changes and contact

If we add or remove a category of cookie, we will change this page and move the date at the top of it. Questions about this policy can go to hello@eurohosteltraveler.com or +1 952-219-0286.
